Designing Dreams: My Journey into Graphic Design and Marketing

As I sit down to share my thoughts, I'm reminded of the moment that sparked my passion for design and marketing: a casual outing to watch the Cubs play at Wrigley Field. Surrounded by the vibrant energy of the game, I couldn't help but notice the specific branding efforts that filled the stadium - from the bold logos on merchandise to the dynamic graphics on the screens. Since I was a kid, I've held onto designing dreams and a passion for Graphic Design that has stayed with me through college., but that experience ignited a flame to explore the realm of design and marketing in a professional setting. And now, as I embark on a summer internship as a graphic designer and marketing coordinator, I'm eager to dive in and learn so many new things.

‍

My goals for this internship are clear: I want to discover how design can be used as a powerful tool to convey brand messages and capture the attention of my audience. From crafting social media graphics to developing compelling ad campaigns, I'm excited to put my creativity to the test and see how it translates into real-world marketing strategies. I'm also eager to learn about the world of digital marketing and SEO. Learning how to optimize web content, analyze data metrics, and implement SEO will be very valuable and I’m sure I can use these skills wherever I end up in the future.

‍

Perhaps most importantly, I'm looking forward to gaining a firsthand understanding of what it's like to work in the real world. Collaborating with colleagues, meeting deadlines, and navigating client projects will provide me with insights that go beyond what any classroom can offer.

As I begin this journey, I do so with excitement and anticipation. I know that there will be challenges along the way, but I'm ready to embrace them as opportunities for growth and learning, including the pursuit of my designing dreams.
